the professor

salam,

people i swear i should be studying now. i won't say a thing, u can say i am procrastinating and i really don't wanna make excuses. just came from khaira's place and i feel like to talk instead of studying...........meanwhile exams is already really really close.

so last week i went out of town somewhere north from frankfurt, i've booked the train seat so i simply seated there and accidentally an old man came and asked whether was the seat next to me free. i was so surprised that he seemed sooo friendly unlike the most cold germans, we were a lil bit unlucky then that our train got 10 min delayed so the man beside me was murmuring and complaining with a light laughter, then he took some paper and started to read them. they looked like script from university, oops maybe he's taking his Ph.D or a professor, i thought. so bad there was another announcement that out train was having a 5 minutes extra delay, the man kept looking at his watch and laughed to me.
then i asked him where was he going, it was hannover.
it turned out that he was going to speak in a conference and he probably be late due to our train's delay, and yes my guess was right! he is a professor in the medical faculty of goethe university frankfurt.
after a short time he realized that i put blue nail polish only on my left ring finger and asked me if it has a particular meaning. of course no..... it was just for fun. fyi i like to put different color to my finger ring to replace the cuteness of a ring, i know, i know its just me lol. he thought it has a meaning as he knows in some country ladies have cultural habits or restrictions related to fingers. then i asked him to guess where do i come from and after some guesses he decided to say malaysia. after i revealed i come from indonesia, he told me some of his experience in indonesia yea he said he don't really like bali beside ubud, he enjoys jogjakarta the most, bandung hat ihm nicht gefallen, and he barely got some sleep in jakarta because it's so noisy and hectic he said, even when it was in 1981 that time.
shit....1981? oooold time. we laughed at the fact that i wasn't born yet that time. he continued reading his paper then i started to put back my silence as i thought i would bother him concentrating if i asked more questions.

i enjoed my time playing some games in my tablet then the professor has finished reviewing his paper, he directly talked to me about indonesia. about tanah toraja which he has been to and about maternal culture of minangkabau, aaa he asked me also about a woman i didn't know, he said she's quite famous hahaha OH MY GOD AM I EVEN INDONESIAN?
we talked about muslim majority in indonesia, bahasa, foods, medicine, about skin (as he is skin specialist), about some cities in germany that the finds attractive, a lot actually, but he commented on my games even tried to play.
er hat kaum zeit zum spielen, naja wegen arbeit hat er gesagt, so ist das leben. he always wanted to learn spanish but got no time yea i can imagine how bad it is.........
i even asked if i could know how old he is. i guess 60. BINGO +3 he is 63.
it was a good guess already he said, because to guess someone's age who comes from other continent is hard, because our skin pigment isn't that similar. i thought he has grandchild already, but not yet. i hope he will, soon.

i don't know the essence of talking about this but i swear he is the kindest german i ever met, because i am pretty much an awkward person and getting more awkward if i shoud talk in deutsch as i think my speaking is really really really ewwww. i googled him after i got home as i know he teaches dermatology.

dear mr. professor thank you that at least you make germany feels nicer,
salam
ps: i think the grammar inaccuracy level in this post is beyond normal. sorry :p
